Deleting Registry Keys from the Command Line
There are two ways to delete a key from the Registry from the Command line.
At the MS-DOS Command line: C:\Windows
RegEdit /l location of System.dat /R location of User.dat /D Registry key to delete
You cannot be in Windows at the time you use this procedure!
Or you can create a reg file as such:
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\the key you want to delete]Note the negative sign ” – “just in between the “[” and the HKEY
Then at the Command line type:
RegEdit C:\Windows\(name of the regfile).
